Wisdom Hurts. Especially when it's the teeth kind.

Wisdom Hurts. Especially when it's the teeth kind.

My wisdom teeth are hurting so bad this week. I would like to cut them out. But that would hurt worse.

Anyways, this week has really been a bad week. School is terrible, I have no idea why I am even going to college because nothing here interests me, and I don't know if I am moving to fayettville or not. If I move to that school I will loose my scholarship, which will make me moneyless... and I will have to sell my horses, and I will lose my job. I've been praying about it alot, and I just don't know what to do right now. One day at a time I guess. It'll all work out.

I joined the missions team at the BCM. Pretty excited about that. This month we are having a halloween carnival to outreach to the kids around this certain area. A church is sponsering it and helping us raise money for our team too.

Joe Darcy is doing better. Ronni helped me get him on a different feed schedule because his glucose levels are sky high, he is becoming diabetic kindove.
Got a new horse, Nazwan, he's a polish arab. He's really cool, he talks to us all the time and wakes me up if I've overslept and thinks he needs to be fed :P

I'm working for a lady 20 minutes away, helping excersise and train her horses. It's a pretty cool thing, I hope it keeps going good because I can help her start showing her horses we are working.

I've also started giving lessons to kiddo's. They are so fun, so far I have 3 regular students. I have 4 more slots open so hopefully they will fill up and I can start saving some money up.

Fall is here... that's always good. Started the fireplace for the first time ever the other day. That was neat, except dad smoked us out of the house because he turned the knob thing the wrong way.. hah.

Ok, I'm done ranting, have a nice day. Even though no one reads this is helps to get it on paper and look back at it sometimes to see what's been going on in my life when I forget. :P

Exciting days :D

So, I'm pretty excited today. Yesterday my book came in the mail that I've been waiting on for a week. It's called "Coming Attractions" by Robin Jones Gunn, she's my favorite author, and it's a series that I love. I get so excited when she writes a new book. Anyways, I read the whole book in less than a day. It was amazing. I am so excited about my future after reading that book.

Also, after reading that book, I've decided some stuff about a friend of mine and his friend. They are pretty much perfect for each other and I've been a jerk about it. Going to let him know that I think this when I talk to him later. Can't believe that I haven't realized this sooner. As much as I hate to say it, they kinda make sense together. The book just made me realize that for some reason. I do love it when God teaches me stuff through books like this. I get excited.

History test tomorrow. I can't stuff all this information inside my head, it's too much. Oh well, if I fail atleast I gave it my best.

Goin to church now to clean flowerbeds! I love working outdoors when the weather is like this. Sunny with a chilly breeze. This has been a great first day of fall. Or was that yesterday? oh well, anyways, I'm off.

Prayer Request... Read!

My Notes on Facebook wouldn't let me post this for some reason- so I posted it on my blog instead. Read this, and pray for Rifqa Bary, please.
------------------------------------------
Urgent Prayer for Rifqa Bary
September 21, 2009


Dear Praying Friends,

This prayer request is extremely urgent! Please pray and forward it to praying people within your sphere of influence!

The fate of Rifqa Bary may be decided today. In July, in fear for her life, the radiant 17 year-old fled her parent's Ohio home to seek refuge with the family of an Orlando, Florida pastor. Florida attorney and pro-family leader John Stemberger took up Rifqa's case and is fighting to save her life (see Story).

Rifqa's devout Muslim family came to the U.S. from Sri Lanka in 2000. A fellow student led Rifqa to Christ at 14. In fear of her father, she kept her newfound faith secret until a year ago. Rifqa says her father has abused and threatened to kill her, and that he is devoted to the Koran, which calls for the execution of Muslims who convert from Islam. "Honor killings," routine in Muslim lands, are on the increase in the U.S.

Authorities at Facebook have closed a site on which scores of threats to Rifqa's life were posted. She is in grave danger (see her video testimony at RifqaBary.com).

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, ordered to investigate the case, found "no evidence of criminal activity...to support" Rifqa's allegations. But a veteran FBI investigator sent by the Center for Security Policy, says the investigation was flawed.

Today, Monday the 21st of September, a Florida judge will decide if Rifqa must return to her parents. Jurisdiction will be the central issue at the hearing.

Pastor Lou Engle, a longtime leader in the national prayer movement, is asking Christians everywhere to pray September 21-25, and to fast on Friday, September 25th when fifty thousand Muslims will meet on the Washington Mall to "pray for America." (see Engle, Mall)

Please Pray for Rifqa and her attorney, that God will give them wisdom and victory in their legal effort. May God protect Rifqa, keeping her safe, even as He uses her to minister Christ to the Christian and Muslim worlds (Ps 91: all; 121: all; Eph 6:10-20).
May America's pastors and churches awaken to the challenge that the Muslim faith and activist political agenda poses to our nation and Christian heritage. May believers arise to pray and may Biblical truth and the power of the Holy Spirit mightily prevail as those with competing religious views vie for our nation's soul. May the advance of Islam be used of God to stir believers to ever greater faithfulness to Christ and may the Church learn how to love and effectively minister to those in the Muslim and other religious communities! (Ex 20:2-5; Ps 96:5; Acts 4:12; Gal 2:4-5; Mt 28:19-20; Mk 16:15).
Thank you for your prayers over these critically important matters!


Sincerely,

Rev. Pierre Bynum
National Prayer Director

"Smiling's my favorite :))))))"

Elf is so cool. That movie is pretty much amazing, and it has been stuck in my head since my birthday in July when we watched it on the bigscreen outside.

So what's new with everyone? Haven't been on here in awhile (I know I say that everytime I post but... I'm just sayin')

Lets see here. Tons of stuff has been going on for me lately, I'm loving it. God has been blessing me so much, it's crazy. I am amazed every day at how blessed I am. Thank you Lord :)

I started another semester of college in August. Oh what fun it has been. I am taking U.S. History II, American National Government, Logic and Design for IT (geek class that I love hehe), Speech (which has turned out to be awesome and a great way to get to know people), and Music Appreciation (easy easy class that is fun because I love classical music anyways..).

College, I've decided, is kinda lame. I like meeting people and all, sure, but they are not the kind of people I want to go and just hang out with. I think it is cool meeting them and hearing their stories though. But for instance, American Gov. class is sooooo ick because all they do in that class is gripe and debate about the stupid healthcare reform issue, and how it is affecting them and "woe is me" attitude and how Obama is brilliant. Hmm. Ya, not my favorite class to say the least. The debating gets entertaining sometimes though, because this one guy in my class is the one conservative of the bunch from what I gather other than me, and he gives them a good debate.

Joe Darcy is sick. I don't know what is the matter with him. I'm taking him to the vet next week and am going to spend a fortune but oh well, he is slithering away from me, and I need to fix it before it gets to a point where I can't get him back. I thought I had fixed it with his teeth, but nope. Still sickenlingly skinny. Poor baby, he looks so sad sometimes... makes me wanna cry because I just don't know what to do anymore and neither does any of my mentors.

I sold Guido this last week to my former Biology teacher. I was pretty bummed about that. First cars are always special, so I have heard, and I got pretty atached to him. I did, however, get a cool suprise from my parents. 323i BMW. :) So that made up a lil bit for having to get rid of Guido. He will be missed.

I'm watching Monk right now... I don't really know whats going on though because I haven't been paying attention, I've been typing. I'm not too good at multi tasking :P

SOUP!! !!!!! So, mi madre decided to make soup last week, and I'm addicted (jk, jk.... maybe). It is veggie soup with ground turkey meat and holy matramony, it's amazing. I kinda sorta really enjoy it alot :)

Oh, big thing- got another part time job in addition to my h-sitting job. I am now giving riding lessons to some pre-teens thru out the week. I love teaching kids how to ride, it's really fun. Makes me remember how horse crazy I was at that age...

Uh, ok I'm done, Rebekah just pulled into the drive way and I'm gonna go hang out with her.
Chow :)

Dear You
How was your day today? Did anyone make you laugh today? I know how you love to laugh. Did anyone hurt you today? Don’t sweat them just pray for them. Though these times of economic struggle we must pray for one another more then we already do. I’m glad that you believe in God, and I’m glad that you practice your faith. I’m glad that you have knowledge and that you’re not ignorant.
I’m glad that you’re in good health and that you take care of yourself. I think people just don’t understand how important that is. What’s your favorite past time? My favorite past time is the UFC, nothing beats that well besides you and you’re not a past time. I promise to watch chic flicks with you and I won’t complain at all. As long as we’re together, I’m cool doing whatever.
I’m glad that you have one of the biggest hearts in the world. I’m happy to call you my other half, the future mother of my kids, my meant to be, the love of my life God has given me to live. You are special and you mean so much to me. When you walk in a room I always have this feeling that overcomes me and that feeling is pure joy to know that you’re the one I will be with for all times with no doubt ever. I’m happy God has given us his blessing.
You are one of those people that actually learned from your mistakes and teach others the other options they have of not making the same ones. You are the person that even if they do make the same mistake you’re there to pick them up and love them. You don’t smoke, you don’t belittle people, you have manners, and more importantly you have morals. I respect you whole heartedly.
I will always open the doors for you, and allow you to walk in first. I will pull your chair out when there is a chair to pull out. I will be romantic with you, trust me I know how to do this. You would travel the ends of the earth to be with me and I would do the same. Though there may be distance in the beginning we will find our way to one another.
I like hearing your stories, you make them worthwhile, and they’re never boring. Your past has strengthened you and you don’t live in it. You don’t see people in colors. When you use to date race wasn’t something that limited you. You like to smile. You enjoy conversation, and enjoy time to just be with each other without words. I respect that you don’t use profanity around kids and you may not even use it at all. I love how you’re so lady like.
I like that you’re honest. You are optimistic and you even give others hope. People turn to you all the time and that is what makes you a good friend as well. You’re not a Debby Downer, and with you there is never a dull moment. You like to play board games, you like to go to museums, you like to tell me interesting facts even though I may already know them I will listen to your melody any day.
I can’t wait to watch movies with you, I’m happy you don’t actually talk through movies. It’s good that you’re close to your family and I to mine, for one day we will introduce not only each other to them but them to one another. I have family everywhere so we do have pretty good vacation spots. Though I don’t know you, I trust God’s master plan that you exist. I love you my dear. Stay positive. I do exist.
Love Always
Me

Bad Day. Bad Week. Bad Month.

So I am graduating this coming Saturday.
And is scares me.
I don't want to grow up and get old and die.
I'm really nervous about the ceremony thing. Not my cup of tea. But I will get through it and not get sick and be done with it. And all will be ok.
College is making me so nervous right now. I'm in two college classes, and one class I have an 8 page paper due on Monday and I've only writen 4 pages of it. The other class (Algebra) I took a test today and I bombed it so bad.. gah.
Nicole and I's Gold award project got denied. Which royaly stinks.
So that is what was on my mind. I'm grumpy. Peace Out.

It's been awhile...

Today kinda reallly stunk. So I thought I'd post about it.
I was scheduled to have my senior pics done yesterday, and they got canceled and postponed to today. I was really nervous, but ready to get it over with. I planned on taking a few with Joe Darcy, my horse, and then going downtown to take some there. Well, I was at the barn today getting him ready, and I got him all spiffied up and pretty too early, the guy wasn't going to show up for another hour. So I thought I would put him in the covered arena to let him chill out up there so he wouldn't roll in the dirt and ruin my pretty job of cleaning him. I put up the cables that keep the horses in and let him go. The wind blew, and he just started galloping, full speed, in a frantic run. He decided to run straight for that cable, and he tried to jump it. He failed in jumping it and barreled right thru it and tore it out of its socket. Needless to say he now has no hair/skin on his chest and underarm area. He gashed his left arm up all the way to the bone, and the other leg was gashed too but not that bad. He now has stitches and can't walk very well, poor baby. He's on stall rest for atleast a week, and I don't know how well he's going to handle that. He hates being cooped up that long...
But anywho, life is kinda crazy here lately. Working on lots and lots of stuff for school, scholarships, Girl Scout Gold Award, and stuff like that. College is fun, but Algebra is pretty tough right now. I got a scholarship, but I didn't get the one I really wanted. I'm supposed to hear back from a few other companies for their scholarships soon, so maybe I'll get those, idk. I'm just ready for summer to be here, and for graduation and this time in my life to be over. People keep telling me this is the best time of my life, but I'm not so sure. I'm not really the type that likes this much busy-ness.
I am graduating April 25th btw!! Come one, come all! Lets celebrate school being over... atleast for a few months until I go to college full time :P
